But it’s a greenhouse gases contributor - electric is better. Check that anode commented below.

Thanks for this. China keeps trying to wipe away this event by having any image deleted. It needs to be reposted and seen often.

Go to bed Donny. You’re tired.

Best reason ever to be rid of TikTok.

Interesting that’s it’s an ally and not a foe - that suggests (if it’s not a true accident) that the top is beginning to jostle for position.

That, or fate loves irony.

This is exactly how carpetbaggers used to work. Scam one town, move on to the next.

We should call these scammers what they really are.

Meanwhile here next door in the Netherlands, we have wind farms and solar all over, and we sell our energy to the UK...meanwhile we have some of the highest consumer energy costs in the EU.

Consumers get screwed over here a lot.

It's not by choice I have to use Teams, but by corporate edict, but currently there's definitely something happening with Teams, 2002 errors, hidden files or crosslinks and crashes. It's driving many of us hopping mad for weeks:

Anyone else having problems? I posted a temporary solution in the MS thread, but maybe someone knows a fix? Or perhaps we can give this a bit of notoriety so MS will do something about it!

It's a very good takedown of Muskrat. Fun quote:

"Fights can reveal a person’s character. That would be Musk’s worst fear. As frivolous as all of this jawing has been, it is very much in keeping with a lifetime of acting like a selfish brat and getting away with it... Scientists could not design a man more likely to get whipped in a fair fight."

Germany just announced they will discontinue their hydrogen-powered train service in favor of a battery-based solution due to the higher running cost.

Hydrogen may be an alternative, but it has yet to make continuous, solid financial sense for any type of transport.

I had some issues using the original PowerDeleteSuite and then found this: PowerDeleteSuite with a 5 second timeout This one worked a treat:

https://github.com/pkolyvas/PowerDeleteSuite

The slight modification allowed me to see that there was an issue with one of my posts, but it also allowed me to keep plowing through 14 years of Reddit. I changed all the content (“No IPOs without APIs”) and let it sit for a week or two to allow it to be backed up and checked. Then I deleted all but 2 subs I used to mod (1 will go soon). So far, checking by AUTHOR: yeilds nothing.

Still figuring out the fediverse, but I know that Mastodon users can (in an oblique way) post to Lemmy. Is there a way to have a Lemmy account and post to a Mastodon instance/section/thingie?

I wanted to respond to something on https://front-end.social/local but I'm trying to avoid creating more social media accounts I won't use.

Thanks!

25 years I’ve been abroad (The Netherlands) and the work-life balance is why I stayed. They insist I take days off (still foolishly work like an American) and have already booked out a 3 week vacation for later in the year…and I’ll still have nearly 2 weeks of vacation left. We can roll a few weeks of vacation over to the next year if not used. Even though the Dutch have NO holidays from June to Christmas, I’m still able to take 4 day weekends when I want to.

The downside is family left behind may begin to resent you. My family have developed this red-hat victim culture. I can’t bring up how I live abroad or else it starts fights - they don’t want to talk to me now.
